Deadline extended for Paramedic-to-RN enrollment

Beginning with the spring 2012 semester,
the Tyler Junior College School of Nursing and Health Sciences will
offer a Paramedic to Registered Nurse Transition Program.

The deadline to enroll has been extended to Tuesday, Nov. 22.

The
program will be designed around the typical time constraints of the
working paramedic; and all theory content will be delivered online while
skills lab and clinical rotations will be held in the Tyler area.

This
initiative reflects the call from the Institute of Medicine for the
creation of pathways to support diversity with the nursing profession
and will allow paramedics about 9 months to complete the requirements
for taking the NCLEX-RN examination.

Paramedics interested in
applying to this program should visit the TJC Nursing and Health
Sciences academic advisors on the second floor of Rogers Student Center
on the TJC main campus. Program guidelines and application periods are
available at www.tjc.edu/nursing.

For more information, contact the TJC Associate Degree Nursing Office at 903-510-2869.
